Multi-WIM-Support

This Script is for the administration of several WIM-files on DVD or USB-Stick.
You can copy it in OtherOs-Folder
The WIM-files which can be used must be provided before with another configuration (for example without IE7, or without proxy)
Then you copy the vistape.wim from targetdir to scriptdir\multiwim and rename it.

Now you can use this script for create Vista-Bootmenu. It runs after you select VistaPE from Grub4dos-Menu.

Yes, I modified the the bcd-file for start WIM-file in the script.In the WIM-file the complete Windows-dir is contained. For programs is adjusted 'Run from RAM' is it thus no problem, since they are contained in the WIM-file. Programs, which are implemented by the Programs-dir, must be present naturally also there.

The best method is thus:1. Generate Installation with the small extent (minimal)2. Copy and rename WIM-file3. Generate Installation with full extent (inclusive the before provided WIM file)

Is there any idea how to make bootable disk with several, different WIMs from different MSDart`s? Rename every boot.wim from MSDaRT 6.0 x86...How to load 4 (for example) different WIMs?

Any idea?

Thanx.

2aCD's script should provide some guidance for adding the option to boot additional wim images from Windows Boot Loader.

Looking at the script:1. For each extra osloader (i. e. bootable wim file), the GUID has been hardcoded. I don't know where these values came from or if more can be added.2. bcdedit is in the Target Directory and probably came originally from the Vista Install DVD's boot.wim mounted as VistaPE's BootWimSrc.3. The BCD store is located at %TargetDir%\boot\bcd and may also come from the Install DVD's boot.wim, or may be created by VistaPE at an earlier stage.4. The two extra bootable wims are named vistape2.wim and vistape3.wim and must be located in the root of the Target Directory.

That's about it. If you can build VistaPE with 2aCD's script, and don't wish to change this script, you shouldn't have too much trouble adding options to boot from a selection of bootable wim files.

To test it out, name your wim files as vistape2.wim and vistape3.wim and place them in %ScriptDir%\MultiWim folder. If it works, go back and edit the script so that everything is named correctly.

I have 4 ISOs.
MSDaRT60x86.iso ; MSDaRT60x64.iso ; MSDaRT65x86.iso and MSDaRT65x64.iso.
I dont want to load ISO from CD with grub4dos. I can extract each WIM from those ISOs.
MSDaRT60x86.wim ; MSDaRT60x64.wim ; MSDaRT65x86.wim and MSDaRT65x64.wim.

Have somebody idea how to boot from GRUB4DOS these 4 files?
I looked on the internet and on the boot-land but there is only for booting whole ISOs, which is Ok, but is it possible to boot different WIM with GRUB4DOS?

I am using Win7PE_SE with Windows 7 SP1. I tryed to build PE but when script for multiwim wants to execute with only one wim active513.wim, it stops with error:
List index out of bounds (2): set,%BCDEdit%=%Tools%\%OSArch%\bcdedit.exe...

Thanx in advice.

Its an old thread, but i think i have a solution for wims from grub4dos if it helps anyone.in grub4dos, i can boot an ISO directly (not all), but small PEs and Dart work fine.
